Anna Cooper-Alexander

Requiescat in pace!

Anna Cooper-Alexander loved living in San Diego. There she would meet her husband, David Alexander, give life to seven-year-old Olivia and three-year-old Jocelyn, expand her professional career, share occasions with family and build wonderful relationships. She often looked forward to hangouts with her close friends, especially when singing karaoke, in public.

Anna was born in the United States Naval Hospital at Subic Bay, Philippines, on 4MAY1978. She spent her youth in Pasco, WA, developing spiritual, physical, mental and athletic skills. As a child she attended Catholic schools: St. Patrick’s in Pasco, and St. Joseph’s in Kennewick, before moving on to Pasco HS. She enjoyed swimming and competitive soccer.

Anna graduated in JUN2004 from Washington State University, achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. Anna valiantly paid deliberate attention on the domain of Human Resources, presenting her intrinsic cultivation of trust and respect for individual talent. She found employment with NASSCO, H. J. Heinz, Mitchell International and Tandem Diabetes Care.

Anna visited the Philippines, several times. She traveled to Jamaica to celebrate her marriage to David, with many family members and friends attending. She also visited Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Olivia and Jocelyn, with their Mom, Dad and grandmother, Elizabeth, enjoyed visiting family and balancing interesting details of metropolitan culture, during their short space of time.

Anna passed on 19SEP2016 from a little-understood autoimmune event at the University of Washington Medical Center. She leaves in prayer her parents James (retired Navy CWO4) and Fe R. Cooper, living in Pasco, WA.

Anna’s immediate family includes four older siblings from her mother’s previous marriage: Faye, Stephanie, Mike and Manolito Valenzuela. She also counts several nieces and nephews.
